If we eat meat, the beasts bred to supply this meat have to be slaughtered. Far better in a well regulated UK slaughter house, than being pole axed and having their throats cut in some dirty, far off continental backwater. I come from a farming background and experienced many slaughter houses dealing with our stock over the years. Back in those days I never saw any slaughter men mistreating our animals, far from it; if one eats meat, an animal must die to provide same!

I couldn't live without meat. My girlfriend & family are all vegetarian but dosent bother them that I eat it!
Have to admit after seeing this I dont think I could ever do the killing myself, but sure love eating it!

I am sure there was one in the dim and distant past. People seem to put certain facilities out of their mind or gloss over a report or article - in general life, not just this forum. Slaughter houses are one such facility.

Nicely positioned rolled up mag there BG preserving that women's erm, integrity, is that the right word??? The slaughterhouse workers may have become a little desensitised over the years so could have required a bit of soft porn and hard drugs to make them feel alive again?...I wonder if you are ever the same after that kinda job??? I dread to think what that long red thing with the latex glove over it was used for...I can't erase my thoughts

Do you think Tina possibly died from a H&S accident as she couldn't get the correct hard hat on in time?

An interesting yet thought provoking explore BG...I'm glad these places will soon be monitored by cctv bought in by law in the near future, I've seen some extreme sadistic cruelty by some twisted arseholes from covert cameras set up by people investigating these places, people need to be accountable.

Had the conversation with a friend the other day discussing the mindset of the people who work here & agree its gotta leave a mental scar!
i suppose its a "someones gotta do it" type of job!
If u look on my flikr u get an idea of how much porn was there, it was difficult in some rooms to get a pic that that wasnt obscene!

Go into any really tough, all male working environment back then and you would have to climb over a mountain of porn to get into their break room or canteen. Docks, sewage works, slaughter houses and the old steel mills and forges of Sheffield etc, all had huge 'libraries' of porn!. One should also realise that people doing this type of work did not develop the 'mind set' on the job - you either have it or you don't. As for the covert camera brigade; years ago I was involved in the forensic analysis of the photographic evidence on a couple of cases. Proved without shadow of doubt that the so called 'investigators' were the ones carrying out the cruelty and providing false evidence film.

The needles, syringes and plastic dildo are obviously the cast offs of the latest users of this place - the local drugged youth and the odd sexual experimenter!

^^ So that's where I left her. All those drugs and I couldn't remember..

Deary me though. I've found some erm 'caked' dildos on my explores but yours are ace. Not sure I'd enjoy walking over all those needles mind.

These slaughterhouses range from half decent to the grim. I can't remember where but there was one explored on Teesside - only problem was the site owners had left all their tanks and pits full of the animal fluids and slimes for months or years beforehand. I was retching as I read through that one. I think with yours the flies have had time to clean the site..

Meat is still a way of life for many. I have my own views about the whole farming issue but I'd overload the forum or be ticked off for saying them so won't!

As has been said it takes a particular mindset to work in some places. The rude stuff was everywhere and before that people would draw the porn.
(I can't help telling these stories!) I know a man who had been a slaughterman all his life - he was the bloke with the stun gun basically. When the foot and mouth kicked off some years back he was sent off to the various farms where the disease had been detected. Although he carried out the work till the end, it broke him and he had a nervous break down - the reason was he knew that the majority of what he was killing were healthy. Although he'd worked all his life doing that work he still had some compassion for the animals. Not all of those who work in such places are bad people.

Seeing this had set me off. I'd love a nosey around one but alas there are none around me. An interesting site which raises so many questions.

Jees I think if this had "fluids" I would of struggled, tbh its pretty clean & even the pit itself has no staining or smell about it, but there is always that sense when u r in these places.
It is a great explore tbh we spent a good 2hrs in there again & had an encounter with a barn owl (my re-occurring explore theme) which sat watching us for 5 or 10 mins.
If u get up Northants way let us know ;-)

About us

DerelictPlaces is a forum for people with an interest in the history and documentation of disused, derelict and abandoned buildings to come together and share their experiences, photography and historical findings. Our military, industrial and historical heritage is fast disappearing under the pressure of regeneration, the need for new housing, and often through simple neglect; Our aim is to document these places before they disappear entirely.
